Chapter 317: Raising Chickens
Zhang Fan didn't know that his name had entered the eyes of the high-level people in the province.
The county leaders also quickly replied, and they had promised to ensure that this section of the highway in Huangshi Town would be the first to open to traffic within two years.
Chen Baoli also complied with Zhang Fan's wishes, and everyone unanimously agreed that the production line would stay in Huangshi Town in the future, and wait for the anti-cancer drug to be truly developed.
The next thing, Wang Feihong will be in charge, he has nothing to do except pay for it. At that time, it was precisely because he saw that he could be the shopkeeper that he joined the gang.
Wang Feihong and they went around Zhangjiazhai for almost a day, and finally found a location suitable for the construction of the R&D department, which fell on the edge of the new site of Zhangjiazhai Primary School, with a beautiful environment and would not occupy the villagers' vegetable fields.
Originally, Kong Lao's opinion was that it would be built at the foot of the Red Mountain, adjacent to their research station, which would be much more convenient for them.
But Wang Feihong disagreed, he must separate the company's R&D department from the research institute of the biological research station, so that it would be very troublesome to get involved in the future.
The leaders of the town are very efficient, and the location has only been determined here, and they, together with the Land Office, have already completed some formalities, saving everyone a lot of trouble.
In addition, they began to probe Zhang Fan and others, and saw that these bosses took a fancy to the village in Huangshi Town. In the future, we will build a pharmaceutical factory somewhere so that they can be prepared.
It's just that the only one who is really in charge is Wang Feihong, who is so busy that he doesn't touch the ground now, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to Mayor Yang and them.
And Zhang Fan doesn't care, they don't bother to worry about these problems, anyway, someone will be responsible, so they don't know if they ask three questions, so Secretary Luo and they are a little crazy.
After all, it will be a big project with an investment of hundreds of millions of yuan, can it be a snack? Zhang Fan's attitude is as if he casually threw a few cents into the gamble, and he doesn't care at all whether he wins or not.
Unlike others, Zhang Fan is very annoyed by the trivial things of management. With a life cheater like a clean bottle, and living like a dog like others, it's too sorry to have this adventure.
He still goes to see the strawberry picking every day, and by the way, he takes a look at the flowers and trees, as well as the black-skinned watermelons in the greenhouse. Some black-skinned watermelons are already the size of a football, and it is believed that they can be harvested around the time of the Chinese New Year.
Everyone else knew that he was rich, and that he was almost the richest person in the entire town of Yellowstone.
But in fact, he is now almost so poor that he has a clean sleeve, and he still has a little money left, which is to engage in poultry breeding, that is, raising chickens and ducks mentioned many times before.
The idea of building a chicken farm on a hillside was something he had conceived early on.
The construction of a chicken farm is very simple, build a chicken coop, and in some places put barbed wire fence on it. The scope of the real chicken farm was a bit large, and later his valley, the vineyards on both sides, and even those two mountains were the range of chickens.
He had already handed over the construction work to a small engineering team in the town, and they had asked them to help with it within a week.
A few days later, Zhang Fan called his uncle Zhang Liye to go to the valley to see the chicken farm, and if there was no problem, he would accept it, and then let the chicken seedlings come over.
After the last time Du Lao said that he would help raise fighting cocks, it didn't take long for Zhang Fan to find someone to build a chicken farm on the hillside on the other side of the valley. Unlike ordinary chicken farms, he follows a large-scale intensive stocking model.
Therefore, it is more advanced than ordinary free-range chicken farms, chicken coops, brooding houses, perches, egg nests, drinking fountains, insect traps, cages, anti-theft equipment, seine nets, water supply and power supply and other professional equipment are readily available, with more than 20,000 stocks.
"Why does this chicken farm leave so much open space?" asked Zhang Liye after looking around.
"Haha, the open space is reserved for chickens to move and forage. There is a reason to let the chickens out for a walk. And free-range chickens are more expensive than feed chickens!" Zhang Fan smiled.
Many of the chickens sold in the city are feed chickens, which are full-price compound feed, which grow fast, and during the slaughter period, there is a lot of moisture in the meat, and the taste is poor and there is no chicken taste, and the nutritional value is also much worse.
In the past, when he was working outside, Zhang Fan could hardly eat chicken with the texture of a domestic chicken, and many of them were said to be free-range chickens, but they tasted 108,000 miles worse than those raised in the village.
Here, not only the open space in front of him is a place for chickens, but the entire valley and even the mountains on both sides are the range of chickens.
On the other side of the mountain, he also had people block them with barbed wire fences to prevent the chickens from escaping, so that it would be difficult to rush back later.
The rest, in fact, is similar to raising pheasants in the wild. Only the chicken raised in that way will have the most delicious meat quality and be expensive.
"The family is all raised for their own food, whatever you want. Such a large chicken farm can raise at least a few thousand, right? How long can they be raised before they can be sold? Moreover, if they can't manage it, they will lose a lot of money if they catch the plague or something. Although Zhang Liye was very satisfied with the chicken farm in front of him, he couldn't help but express his concerns.
He is from the countryside and is quite familiar with raising chickens. Free-range chickens are difficult to fatten, and only when they are fed and rested like pigs will they grow meat.
In fact, as early as when Zhang Fan graduated from elementary school, he heard that raising chickens could make money, and he also tried to take out his savings and buy more than 200 chickens to raise.
As a result, the technology was not good, and the chicken plague died, and the bottom was lost. That year, I basically tightened my belt and borrowed money from many relatives to get through it. From that time on, his wife no longer let him touch the matter of raising chickens.
"Uncle, don't worry. Money solves problems that are not a problem. Epidemic prevention and management can be outsourced to the people who will do it. Moreover, the environment of our Zhangjiazhai is so good, and there is a lot of food on site, which is simply a blessed land for chickens! Here, I believe they must thrive, and the quality is not bad!"
Zhang Fan knew that his uncle had a shadow on raising chickens, and his concerns were also out of worry, so he directly said his countermeasures and released a reassuring pill.
Didn't the villagers react like this from the beginning of planting vegetables? They were all frightened by the previous failures.
Of course, behind Zhang Fan's confidence, there is a powerful cheating artifact of pure bottle spiritual water in his hand. Under the moisture of spiritual water, the physical fitness of the chicks will be a few streets away from ordinary chickens, and they will win directly at the starting line. Even if it is diluted, the effect is extraordinary, and there is no pressure at all, okay?
In addition, Zhang Fan revealed to his uncle that this breeding project has the cooperation of Manager Liang and them, so there is nothing to worry about.
At the beginning of Zhang Fan's proposal to breed chickens, ducks and geese, Manager Liang talked to Zhang Fan, hoping that the two sides could cooperate.
They can invest, Zhang Fan mainly does a good job in breeding, and the sales and other things will be handed over to them.
However, Zhang Fan had little interest in other people's shares, and only signed an agreement with them. In the future, Manager Liang has the right of priority to purchase the fighting cocks, and the price is guaranteed at the lowest price.
In fact, it is to sign a guaranteed cooperation agreement.
"It's good to be free-range. You see that those free-range chickens are expensive to grow in the natural environment, eat natural food, and the nutritional value of the eggs is higher, especially suitable for pregnant women and children. Zhang Fan added.
In the outside city, native eggs are obviously much more expensive, unlike those artificial eggs and the like, there is no room for price increases.
"I've heard people say that chickens are looking for food in the woodland, and they are prone to unbalanced nutrition, is it really fake?" Zhang Liye looked at his nephew.
He overheard this from others, but then he thought about it himself, and it made sense. Because if you are free-range, the diet will be left to the poultry hobby, and you will be picky eaters.
Unlike other people's professional breeding, those feeds are nutritionally balanced and adjusted.
When Zhang Fan heard this, he was stunned, and said secretly in his heart: Who said this?
In fact, captive poultry only grows meat at an accelerated rate, which is no different from "ripening".
The chicken farms outside are all calculated how many months they are raised. As soon as the best period for poultry to grow meat has passed, it is sold wholesale.
Because after this period, the rate of weight gain of chickens and ducks and other poultry will decrease, but they will still eat the same amount. Only when it happens to be at that point in time is the highest profit.
They only think about yield, weight, and don't pay attention to quality.
"The main thing about letting the chickens walk around in the woodland is to give them more exercise, so that their muscles become stronger and more tasty. Grain bran, corn, soybean flour, vegetable leaves, and rice will not be missing. Moreover, the nutrition of real free-range poultry is the most balanced, and the protein content of insects and other proteins in nature is high. ”
Since his nephews say so, he doesn't know how many times more professional knowledge than him, and he has nothing to say about being an amateur.
"What kind of chickens are you going to raise? Have you bought all the chicks?" he asked.
"Raise fighting cocks, the chicks are booked!"
"Cockfighting, what the hell is the rooster fighting?" the uncle was suddenly stunned.
It's not that I haven't heard the word cockfighting, but not many people in the countryside know that cockfighting is a flock of chickens, and only know that chicken fights are cockfighting.
He really can't imagine that having three or two fighting chickens at home will make you annoyed, and if you raise a large flock, they will fight all day long, will you be annoyed to death?
When the chickens fight, it's terrifying, and sometimes it's ruthless.
In that case, if you are not careful, you will fight with each other, and it is not a joke to die a group in one day. At that time, it is estimated that it will not be as simple as a headache.
In their Zhangjiazhai, roosters often have "accidents" when they fight, either their eyes are pecked blind, or the cockscomb is bitten and bleeding, and the chicken feathers are everywhere.
In short, it's almost an immortal and crippled scene. In that case, can the profit be guaranteed?
Uncle Zhang Liye believes that this breeding project is very risky and not worth playing, let alone playing so big. Thinking about the scene of tens of thousands of chickens fighting in the future, he couldn't help but shudder.
"Cockfights are indeed used specifically for fights, but not for the cocks that usually fight. Unlike ordinary chickens, fighting cocks are tall and burly, with a strong physique and a long body, resembling an ostrich. It is a high-protein, low-fat rare bird breed with high nutritional value and is a delicacy on the table. Mainly eat cereals, disease resistance is very strong, can lay eggs normally in midsummer, breeding methods are relatively simple......"
Zhang Fan explained a lot more, and finally let the uncle have a preliminary understanding and understanding of the so-called cockfighting. When he found that it was not what he thought, he was relieved.
Zhang Liye himself knows very well about his nephew's career, he is taking the most high-end route, the price is expensive, and it is not a road stall.
"Okay, if you know it yourself. ”8)
